- Zero Trust tools for remote workforces - to secure sensitive systems. A great number of us work remotely, so this is massively crucial for us to take an investment in.
- Operational Continuity - services like Load Balancing (multiple JVMs in rotation within a cloud cluster) with DDoS protection ensure our webapps and sites remain available -- especially during peak season.
- Edge Security - Cloudflare acts as a protective later at the network edge, mitigating threats before they hit our internal systems.
Cloudflare knows what they're doing when Load Balancing and Redundancy meet the cloud. AWS is a partner, and we're exploring other solutions which are performing at the highest level.
Peak season is upon us, and we cannot suffer downtime. DDoS Protection is another interesting place to explore on the Cloudflare front.

Goals around improving website speeds and reduce DDoS attacks with a secure customer data sets with SSL is something Cloudflare is able to achieve. The Cloudflare account is easy to select with a Pro Plan, and adding the website to Cloudflare is a breeze, too.
From scanning the existing DNS records, and selecting two new nameservers -- it's all set within a flash.
Configuring key features in the dashboard takes getting used to, but the support is solid.
